Strategy & play

- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Dragon Smash) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Lightning / Water Energy to attack — note its own type is Colorless, so build for the attack cost, not the type.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Dratini is real?
Dratini is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
